• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Great product ! Used in my RS 25,000 miles and in my RTS 12,000 miles with no issues other then it takes a few minutes to spread around after sitting for a day or two. Haven't got around to putting it in my trailer tires yet, but will before SpyderFest .:thumbup:
 
I had my rear tire go flat within 500 mi of being new from a glass cut between the treads. No bike shop would patch it citing liability issues. I bought a plug kit and inflated the tire with a emergency battery/compressor I had bought from Costco. one of the best things you can buy might I add. Then I heard about RideOn and ordered some online, installed it in my tires and thought everything was going to be fine, and it was until about 10K mi. Then I started getting a wierd vibration at about 45 mph until 50ish. Had no explanation. I recently had my 12K inspection done at 14K and had the front tires rotated. My mechanic told me that in the right front tire the RO had dryed up into a clump. This is probably what had caused the vibration because it has not re-occurred since the rotation. The stuff does work but buyers beware. And do not use Slime, it is caustic to our aluminum rims.
 
We've got Ride On in our Spyder tires as well as in my Z-4 (WAY less money than putting run flats back on it when we needed new tires). We were at a local motorcycle store recently when I ended up chatting about the Spyder with another biker that arrived. Lo and behold, we looked down at the rear tire and spotted a shiny nail...I said, "well, at least we have Ride On in the tires so we should be OK." Then Erags came out of the shop and told me he hadn't gotten around to putting it IN the rear tire yet. Oops! The stuff definitely doesn't work when it's still in the can! He put it in when we got home and then pulled the nail out... it was just the right length to have not punctured anything but the rubber. Dodged a bullet on that one! Erags likes the fact it balances the tires as well as taking care of flats...we don't have any weights on the tires now.
